Article Abstract
Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of multiple extradigestive complications. Thus, understanding the global epidemiology of obesity and its relationship with extradigestive complications, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is important. However, nutritional intervention can positively manage issues associated with obesity. Hence, the identification of the current high prevalence of extradigestive complications among patients with obesity and the potential role of nutritional interventions is also essential.
Aim: To determine the relationship between obesity and extradigestive complications and emphasize the importance of nutritional interventions in the management of patients with obesity.
Methods: Overall, 110 patients with obesity admitted to our hospital from February 2020 to November 2022 and 100 healthy individuals were included in the present study. Information of the study population, including demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, body mass index, indicators of extradigestive complications, dietary intake, and biomarkers was collected. The study design, participant selection, interventions, and development of the nutritional intervention program were described. The collected data were analyzed to assess the effect of nutritional interventions on extradigestive complications.
Results: As a part of nutritional intervention, the dietary structure was modified to decrease the saturated fatty acid and cholesterol intake and increase the dietary fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acid intake to improve the blood lipid levels and cardiovascular health. Mechanistic studies showed that these nutritional interventions positively affected mechanisms that regulate lipid metabolism, improved inflammatory markers in the blood, and improved vascular functions.
Conclusion: The study discusses the consistency of the present results with previous findings to assess the clinical significance of the present findings. The study provides direction for future research on improving nutritional intervention strategies.

Background: Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia or Waldmann's disease (ORPHA code: 90362) is a very rare disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by digestive lymphatic vessel dilations. The objective of the French National Diagnosis and Care Protocol (PNDS; Protocole National de Diagnostic et de Soins) is to provide health professionals with information about the optimal management and care for patients, based on a critical literature review and multidisciplinary expert consensus. The PNDS, written by members of the French National Reference Centers for Rare Vascular diseases and Rare Digestive diseases, is available from the French Health Authority website.

Aims: Anastomotic leakage (AL) impacts short-term and long-term outcomes after colorectal surgery, yet no consensus exists regarding its diagnosis and management. The aim was to establish a proactive consensus-based approach for diagnosing and treating AL following rectal cancer surgery through a national survey.
Methods: A questionnaire was designed to assess 24 clinical scenarios related to the diagnosis and management of fistulas in low colorectal (LCA) or coloanal anastomosis (CAA) with a diverting ileostomy.

Objective: Helicobacter pylori () represents a significant chronic health concern, affecting approximately half of the global population. While infection has been closely linked to numerous extradigestive diseases, the relationship between and lesions in the gallbladder and biliary tract remains under debate.
Method: We retrospectively collected data from patients who underwent tests at the Physical Examination Center of Taizhou Central Hospital (Taizhou University Hospital) between 2018 and 2022.

Nasogastric tube placement is frequently performed in various medical settings. While generally deemed safe in patients without risk factors, complications may occur due to malposition, justifying the need of systematic confirmation of position with chest radiographs. We present the case of a critically ill male adult patient for whom the tube position was initially deemed very unusual on postinsertion radiographs, prompting further workup which ultimately confirmed an oropharyngeal perforation with a left parapharyngeal, left visceral, retrotracheal, and right retrodiaphragmatic course, and resulting in a recurrent pneumothorax and empyema treated by surgical decortication.
